Awwww. Will do!
Upon arriving at the ranch, the two would split away from the others for a while.
Noctis’ S/O wouldn’t say anything, but he’d still notice that constantly being on the move was starting to wear on them.
He’d be the one to bring up the idea to spend time together, and they’d readily agree. Though, they’d be the one to suggest the Chocobo Ranch.
The others would busy themselves with other things, or even just relax in the caravan. (But Prompto will occasionally sneak up on them to snap a picture or two.)
Their first stop would be Wiz, to get something a snack on before going to see the Chocobos.
It would be then that Noctis’ S/O would notice that they have an admirer.
It’d start with a tugging at their shoe laces and a peep would be heard from under the table.
They’d both look under and see a Chocobo chick trying to get the S/O’s attention. The S/O would laugh and bend down to pick it up, letting it nestle into their lap while they ate.
Absent mindedly, they’d run their hand through it’s feathers and it’d fall asleep on them.
When they’d finish eating, they’d gently wake it and place it back on the ground.
It would be then that they’d go over to the shop and buy some gysahl greens to feed the chocobos in the pens.
Upon arriving over by the pens, one of the older Chocobos would start rearranging his S/O’s hair and clothes, grooming them. It’d then squawk at them indignantly if they tried leaving it. (Perhaps because they now smell like a baby chocobo from the one having slept in their lap?)
So they’d decide to rent a pair and go for a ride around the ranch.
And of course they’d stumble on the race tracks. Noctis’ S/O would automatically want to race. (Because of course they do.)
So they’d give it a try and whoops, they were not expecting that a chocobo could move so fast.
They’d both not really trying to win, they just want to see how fast they could go.
But suddenly a sabertooth would jump out and take a swipe at them. (Where’d it come from?)
Noctis would summon his sword and his S/O would summon their lance and they’d try and take it out as fast as possible. The last thing Wiz needed was another incident like Deadeye happening.
It’d be over quick, but his S/O’s arm would be injured.
Their chocobo would be distraught and would’t let Noctis near them when it realizes that they’re hurt. So they have to ride back to the chocobo ranch before being able to treat it.
They wouldn’t mind, they’d laugh at the situation in all honesty. “I think it adopted me.”
They’d get back, leave the chocobo in the pen (though it’d throw a fit when they walk away) and go to where the others are to pick up a potion for his S/O.
After being healed, they’d just go and sit and pet the chocobo’s for a while.
The baby one from earlier would see them and start hopping along behind them, peeping occasionally to try and get their attention again. And this time it has a friend with it.
They’d entertain the two with attention for a bit before returning their attention to the older ones. They’d go and calm the chocobo they had ridden earlier, and though it wouldn’t understand, reassure it that they’re fine.
It’s nuzzle them, and let them leave after that because…
There would now be three chick following them. Believe me, they’d be confused but Noctis would chuckle at the sight.
They’d allow it and go sit in the grass beside the shop to just sit and talk. Which of course, would allow the three chicks to nestle all around them. They’d peck at Noctis if he tried to touch his S/O.
“I wonder why they like you so much.” “Heck if I know.”
He’d find it SO DAMN CUTE seeing his s/o with the little chocobos.
Cue the resident black chocobo baby hopping along and perching on Noctis. However, they’d be facing his S/O and ignoring him.
They’d both get a laugh out of it, and notice that the others were starting to nestle around them as well.
(Prompto would be dying of the cuteness, and a bit jealous, but taking pictures or the two with all the chicks none the less.)
His S/O would end up with about 5 baby chocobos sitting with them, and Noctis, by proximity, would end up with three.
Wiz would walk over and comment on the amount. Apparently, Chocobo babies weren’t really the cuddly type. (It would normal for the chocobo chicks to take a liking to at least one person a day and follow them around for a bit. But it was a little abnormal that so many liked the same person and even stuck around them for so long.)
Noctis would, oddly enough, be a little proud of his S/O at this.
They laugh it off and comment that animals always seemed to like them.
Eventually though, they’d have to shoo them away so they could retire for the night. (But not without their ‘chocobo mom’ preening them when they pass by before letting them leave for bed.)
The only down side is both parties would be finding chocobo down in their hair for DAYS.
Bonus: Upon meeting Aranea and her seeing how different animals acted around them, she’d mention how their deposition reminded her of the beast tamers in Niflheim, “If you’d grown up there you’d fit right in with them.”
(Lowkey, they’d secretly start trying out some of what Aranea mentions and, to their surprise, it works.) (Now imagine the first time they try this skill out in battle and it works on a coeurl.)
2nd Bonus: I headcanon that Niflheim had a lot of job classes that Insomnia doesn’t. (Like dragoons)
